Honda Tech, I am soooo glad that my dealership had more knowledgable staff than you. If a person is a BEGINNER, how the hell do they know what they can and can't handle?!? Your comments are completely unfounded and lack good judgement. By all means, if an EXPERIENCED rider comes in to buy a 1000, then sell that thing. But just because someone acts like they can handle one doesn't mean shit.

Oh, and about the comment you made about my friends 1000. He does get pretty bored when my 750 walks all up and down his ass on the track. As a matter of fact, all the liter bike riders do.

It's not the size of the bike that makes it fun. It's how you use it. Go ahead and show me one person that you know that can really use a 600 to it's fullest potential. I don't think you can. Show me one person that you've sold a liter bike to that can max out on a 600. Until you do, I'm not convinced that they can be bored on that bike. Unless they're laying down AMA times around a track, then they don't "need" a bigger bike. They just think they do.

Quit being a friggin know it all and open your mind. I think you'll find that your customers will be MUCH happier knowing that you have their best interests in mind instead of the commission on that bigger sale. The dealership I bought my 750 from took the time to sit down with me, assess my needs for my bike, took a look at my riding history, and helped me find the right bike for my experience and goals. That's what you should do.
